“Northern King, is this 'Void'?” I remember the Grim Reaper was supposed to take us there, but the scene before me is clearly completely different from the 'Void' I visited last time.
“Everything here is controlled by the Grim Reaper, so it's normal for you to see different sights,” Northern King replied, as if he could read my thoughts.
“Amo.”
“What?”
“Just keep calling me Amo,” Northern King said with a smile.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you okay?”
I suddenly realized that they had all changed after coming out from the Grim Reaper, but Northern King was even more frightening. He no longer had that stiff expression; he always wore a calm smile, yet I could see nothing in his smile. Instead, it felt like he was giving up something, like despair...
“Amo.” I called out softly. It felt like I was back to the first time I saw Northern King unconscious. He looked so weak then, his pale features giving off a sense of being abandoned.
Perhaps it was seeing him like that, feeling that if I didn’t reach out to him, he could die at any moment, that made me choose to save him without hesitation.
Clearly, after waking up, Northern King had completely transformed. Even in his amnesiac state, that imposing and fierce aura had not diminished at all. However, it seemed that he had been tightly bound and tense before.
Such a person is undoubtedly weighed down by a heavy past, suffocating at any moment.
I have no idea how he regained his memories, what past he shares with Southern King, or how he got seriously injured.
“Ha ha, I still don’t know your name,” Northern King asked.
“Xi Meng, my name is Xi Meng.”
I really found it hard to adapt to Northern King’s sudden change; it made me feel uneasy, very uneasy.
“I can’t take it anymore! I refuse to be with you!” Southern King shouted and then ran off madly, like a crazed little beast, exposing the spikes on his body and rejecting everyone’s approach.
“Amo, it seems we need to have a serious talk,” I sighed.
The Grim Reaper must have brought the three of us here for a reason, and our states are too strange.
"What do you want to know?" the Northern King asked casually.
"Can you tell me anything?"
"Yes." The Northern King nodded.
"Amo, were you injured because of the Southern King?"
"…"
"How did you recover from your amnesia?"
"…"
"Or, well, what I'm really concerned about is your past with the Southern King."
The Northern King seemed ready to tell me everything, but he suddenly fell silent. I understood; perhaps his past was truly too oppressive.
"Xi Meng, are you really prepared to hear this?" the Northern King asked.
"I—" For some reason, I hesitated.
I'm sorry, I've been selfish. The seriousness of the situation seemed to exceed my capacity to handle it. I needed to be clear that I came here to regain my true self and then find Silver Moon. However, some matters always draw me deeper and lead to trouble.
"Alright, it seems it's not time yet." The Northern King shook his head indifferently. But I saw a hint of disappointment flicker in his gaze—very subtle, but I noticed it.
I'm sorry. I could only say this in my heart.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward afterward as I carefully followed the Northern King. Soon, a strange aura broke our awkward silence.
"Be careful."
"Is something coming?" I asked.
This feeling was familiar, like before with the Eye of Annihilation—a terrifying presence.
"Yes, you need to get accustomed to this place quickly," the Northern King said, his eyes fixed on the distance.
"Yes, I will try my best."
"It seems I can't hide it from you for much longer."
"What?"
"My identity, the secret you are afraid to know, about me and the Purple Seal."
The Northern King said as he walked in front of me, turning his back to me.
"If you want to know, I can tell you at any time."
"Next, do not be afraid of what you see."
The Northern King paused for a moment, and at that instant, everything around seemed to freeze.
"Remember, no matter what I am, I will not harm you."
What could it be...
Then, I remained in a daze, filled with astonishment as I witnessed everything happening before me. I thought I saw a legendary species, the enchanting fairy that confuses all, the most beautiful of them all...
